Great Stirrup Cay isn't just an island in The Bahamas, it's an escape to The Great Life. And The Great Life isn't just about cruising to your very own private island; it's about unlocking a state of mind. It's a cool drink in your hand at a 28,000 square foot pool. The roar of jet skis and a gentle breeze through your cabana. It's shouting at the top of your lungs as you race down the larger-than-life tower of water slides. And it's gazing onto white sand beaches all afternoon. Here, you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want. That's The Great Life, and it's about to get GREATER on the incredible, new Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruise Line's private destination.

Get ready for Norwegian's spectacular new, 28,000-sq.-ft. oceanfront pool with swim-up bars included. Plus, spectacular views, cabanas for rent, plush lounge chairs and a dedicated kids' area.

Epic slides. Towering cliff jumps. One unforgettable splash.
Get ready to live the great life at full speed. Spanning the size of several football fields, Great Tides Waterpark is the bold new thrill zone at Great Stirrup Cay — where adventure meets relaxation. Race down sea-inspired slides, drift through a winding river with tunnels that might just be hiding a secret adventure, or leap from dramatic cliffside platforms into crystal-clear waters. Little ones can splash and play in a vibrant water zone, while grown-ups unwind with cocktails in a glowing grotto bar. Whether you're chasing high-speed thrills or laid-back vibes, Great Tides delivers next-level excitement for everyone.

Little ones will get to live The Great Life, too! They'll have the time of their lives at the new complimentary splash pad, surrounded by a playful array of water activities. It's a water-filled wonderland designed for nonstop giggles, just steps from the pool and complete with a refreshment lounge serving up kid-friendly drinks and adult favorites alike.

Vibe Shore Club
Get ready to relax like never before. The exclusive Vibe Shore Club is bringing the signature onboard experience to Great Stirrup Cay in early 2026. This private, adults-only escape (18+) offers plush spaces to lounge, a curated beach playlist and stunning views in every direction. Sip premium cocktails at the private bar and snack on refreshing fruit skewers, cookies or a scoop of ice cream — all in a serene setting designed for ultimate unwinding.
Stroll directly from ship to sand on Norwegian's brand new pier and begin your island day whenever the mood strikes. From there you can hop on the new tram, which makes exploring it all a breeze. Now, you'll have more time to enjoy the all-new Great Stirrup Cay!

Also, Norwegian's new welcome plaza is the perfect place to begin your Caribbean adventure. Arrive in style and enjoy some shade on the plaza. Then venture onto the overlook bridge, where you can capture mesmerizing photos of the island's stunning coastline from 40 feet above the ocean.
